East Antrim Harriers AC

Another great day out for the annual road trip to Co. Dublin for the Raheny Shamrocks 5 mile road race. Yesterday’s event is always one that club runners look out for with a flat fast course and a high quality field. Ross Mercer was the first EAH home in a time of 27:51. Together with David Turtle and John Neill they led the club to a 4th place finish in the M40 team category. Also special mentions to Michael McDonald and John Rooney who whilst making their debuts at Raheny also posted excellent times and personal bests at the 5 mile distance. Thanks to Raheny Shamrocks for hosting the event and making us feel so welcome as always. Thanks to club members who put the work into organizing such an enjoyable day.

EAH man Peter Fraser returned ‘home’ this weekend to take part in the Helsby Half Marathon in Liverpool. Peter put in an excellent performance as he finished the 13.1 mile course in a time of 1:31:43. Well done Peter
